Day 2
We headed to Sydney from Blacktown today by rail. The metro system is really very good. For $15 an adult can hop and hop off all day between rail, ferries, and buses.
We went down to Darling Bay to make motor coach tour arrangements for the next two weeks. Tomorrow we head to wine country for tours, tastings, and gardens. We had a picnic lunch by the water and headed to the aquarium where we were greeted to a palatypus. What an exceedingly cool animal. They also have some of the best exhibits of sharks that I think I've ever seen. After a couple of hours with the fish, we hopped a ferry to the Circular Quay and walked over to the Sydney Opera house. We'll do a tour another day, but even walking around the exterior was pretty amazing.
More tomorrow night!
